Summary

Chile’s Circular No. 17 provided public-sector guidance on the use of artificial intelligence tools. The circular framed AI adoption as part of state modernisation and encouraged public bodies to use AI intentionally and safely to improve administrative efficiency and service quality. It emphasised human-centred design, inclusivity, and non-discrimination in public-sector systems. The guidance also required transparency when automated systems are used in citizen interactions, including public disclosure through digital portals so that individuals know when AI is involved in state services.

Public-sector AI guidance; safe and intentional adoption; human-centred design; inclusivity and non-discrimination; public transparency requirements; disclosure of AI use in citizen-facing automated systems.
